LW Doyle, B Faber, C Callanan, R Morley - Pediatrics, 2003 - publications.aap.org
Objectives. To determine whether blood pressure (BP) differed between very low birth
weight (VLBW; birth weight≤ 1500 g) subjects and normal birth weight (NBW; birth weight>
2499 g) subjects in late adolescence, and to determine whether growth restriction in utero
was related to BP in VLBW survivors at this age. Methods. This was a cohort study of 210
preterm survivors with birth weights< 1501 g born from January 1, 1977, to March 31, 1982,
and 60 randomly selected NBW subjects from the Royal Women's Hospital, Melbourne. BP …
